A word from The Chairman
At this time of an increased threat
environment, as well as potential for
fraud related mail theft, we appreciate
that Members may be concerned with
correspondence (such as monthly
statements) that is received identifying
‘Police Bank’. To protect our Members’
security, we are taking steps to change
the future branding of our envelopes
making it more difficult to ascertain
that mail is from Police Bank. We also
encourage Members to register to
receive their monthly statements electronically, a secure and
convenient method (see story page 8). As a further protection
measure, Police Bank will also be making available to Members,
an option of unbranded credit and debit cards (more details will
be released shortly).
I’m pleased to announce that Mr Scott Weber, President of the
Police Association of NSW, has been appointed to Police Bank’s
Board of Directors. Both organisations share a long and proud
history of working together for the mutual benefit of Members.
Scott’s appointment further strengthens this important strategic
alliance and will provide valuable input and direction for Police
Bank.
Police Bank remains committed to improving our services to
Members, particularly with regards the ongoing development
of our digital strategy. We are currently testing ‘Video Banking’,
a new convenient channel which will allow Members an online
face to face experience from their desktop or mobile device to
discuss banking needs. Coupled with this will be the release
within the next couple of months of a new website, upgrades to
internet banking and improved mobile banking functionality. We
are also in the process of relocating our Head Office to Pelican St,
Surry Hills near the Sydney Police Centre. Part of this project
will be a new and expanded Service Centre for our Members to
enjoy.
I am proud to announce that Police Bank has again been
recognised by the rating agency Mozo, this time winning a Gold
Award in their ‘Expert’s Choice’ category for our Term Deposits
in the 2-5 year range. Judged by analysts, the ‘Experts Choice’
Awards recognise Australia’s best value products across all
financial institutions including the major Banks. These Awards
are designed to compliment Mozo’s ‘People’s Choice Awards’
which Police Bank won Most Trusted Bank and Best Mutual
Bank in 2014.
As we are now in the last quarter of the financial year, I am
pleased to report that Police Bank remains on track to meet all
key performance indicators. This is a satisfying performance
particularly with the challenging economic and competitive
conditions.
I wish all Members a safe and happy Easter.
Regards,
David C. Walton
Chairman.
